AMR is considered one of the great challenges for the human health system at present. Approximately 700,000 people die each year from uncontrolled infections (World Health Organization, 2019).

(ESKAPE)
Although the transmission of antibiotic-resistant bacteria between humans and animals is not fully understood, we do know that antibiotic-fed animals have more antibiotic-resistant bacteria than those fed antibiotic free diets.
Antimicrobial peptides(AMPs)
AMPs are low molecular weight molecules, produced in various types of animal and plant cells, with great biological activity against bacteria, viruses and fungi (Lai and Gallo, 2009).
